The Denver Broncos are down to the NFL-mandated limit of 75 players on their roster.

Long snapper Lonie Paxton, who has played in all 16 games in each of the last three seasons for the Broncos, was the best-known veteran released by Denver today. Paxton is a well-traveled veteran who previously won three Super Bowl rings as the Patriots’ long snapper.
